+I thought it was a big standard hotel room. I was wrong!! This is a fantastic property in a great location just a few minutes walk from the station and just a couple minutes into town. The property has its own kitchen area, bedroom upstairs and a cosy living area downstairs. There's even a rooftop balcony area as well
−The heating was on when I arrived and took a while to cool down. It was a warm weekend and as I was getting ready to head out for the evening I felt a little faint. The light in the bathroom kept going off after a minute or so, but I believe that issue was fixed when I left. The hot water also takes a while to get going to let the water run before washing hands or taking a shower. The shower head doesn't have the hose on it, it just fitted to the wall so can be a little awkward if you're not used to that. The place can be a little difficult to find too. You need to look out for the bluish grey gates with a sign saying Bake House

“Would definitely recommend staying here for a long weekend!”
+The Bakehouse was a great place to stay! The location was perfect with plenty around to see and do, and although it was next to a pretty busy road, it was quiet and peaceful!

“Pleasant, cheap, nicely located.”
+Nice bedroom. Sun terrace. Convenient location.
−Couldn’t turn off ventilator fan which got a bit noisy. Banister at tip of staircase loose which could become a hazard if left unfixed, particularly when going down to loo in the night.

“Hidden nook in harwich”
+Location was good, pleasantly surprised by the roof garden. Made comfortable on a hot day by being well ventilated. The property was well furnished. Towels and linen provided were clean and bright.
−More kitchen knives! A fan in the kitchen was on almost permanantly :-( I thought there was no duver cover - then on inspection it appears it wa on inside out! Clearer instructiions on closing street gate - we weren't to know there was a dog in the other property and it was a bit temperamental to open & close as well TBH we were surprised as the lead images led us to believe it was what we now know is the the low lighthouse, dspite other images within the portfolio

“Peaceful and private”
+The cottage is well equipped, with a good sized lounge, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen in two parts. The location is very peaceful and private, because it is set back from the road. There is a selection of good pubs, cafes and restaurants, free on-street parking, and easy access to local 7-11 shops, museums, railway station, and ferry. We enjoyed our stay, and would book again.
−The door to the street kept us guessing, and I had to telephone the proprietor. Clearer instructions would help! It was quite cold when we arrived, but I couldn't work out the central heating control. Fortunately a fan heater kept our feet warm. The doors, windows and bathroom would benefit from some maintenance. The kitchen fan runs constantly; I hoped it would turn off at night, but it didn't. The bathroom fan didn't work. The wifi dropped in and out.

“Nice, quiet cozy break away.”
+Loved the quiet, property was tucked away from noise & traffic sounds. The small roof garden was great for me & my dogs, didn't have to keep going out and very warm in the sun, despite the wind. Nice cozy little place for one or two people who just want a quiet getaway. As long as you don't mind just sea view walks, as it's a quiet dock town. Need to drive out if you want anything else but wasn't a problem for me. Probably more going on in season but for me it was the peace & quiet I craved with my dogs.
−Shower room good but the floor is then wet for sometime after, making it difficult to use the sink/ toilet without getting wet feet. Could do with a towel mat to put down. I was also a little bothered that I couldn't sweep the floor before I left, so could do with a broom in the property.
